Sing Into Your Storm

The next two week pay period passed quickly and again I had to call in our employees to tell them “I know you are expecting to get paid today, but I am sorry to tell you, we do not have any money to pay you.” Thei r disappointment was pretty obvious. I felt sick inside. By now the bills were piling up both at work and at my home. Mid-July came like a freight train, so fast and yet with no promising breathrough. Once again I had to call in our employees “I know you are expecting to get paid toda y, but we do not have any money to pay you.” I wasn’t expecting that they would stay, but by the Grace of God they did! By now August had arrived and this storm had become excruciating to me! It was like a Category 5 Hurricane! We owed several months building rent, two full months payroll to the employees, and two months on our home mortgage as well as many other assorted bills. All in all, we owed an estimated $70,000 in immediate bills that were due at work and $11,000 in bills due immediately at my home. I was starting to already get the first letters with language like possible eviction at the rental building, possible foreclosure at home, and disconnection of our basic utility services, etc. Once again, I had to call in our employees “I know you are expecting to get paid today, but I am sorry to tell you, that we do not have any money to pay you.” This could not go on! I felt so depressed! I hated causing stress and pain to others! What made it so aggravating was because now we finally had our amazing product ready to market - and not a dime to enable us to able to tell people about it! I was under the worst
